One day in the spring of the year after Túrin had become a member of the Gaurwaith, Forweg and [[Andróg]] disappeared from their camp. Irritated by the outlaw's squalid camp Túrin wandered into the woods. Suddenly he saw a young woman running from a hazel-thicket in fear who fell upon the ground. Túrin drew his sword and killed one of her pursuers, who turned out to be Forweg. Túrin then returned to the other outlaws and claimed the captaincy, to which they acceded.<ref>{{CH|6}}</ref>
